Greet Me With A Smile

"Greet Me With A Smile"
2011

Oh, magnetic mistress
Won't you miss me with your ways
'Cause I've been down upon my knees
For what's feeling close to days
But looking deep inside your eyes
I know you'll just prolong my pain
While taking pleasure in the fact
I'm bold enough to now complain
But you've been on the shorter end
Of Charlie's little stick
Too many men have walked on you
And left you feeling sick
So now you'll take it out on me
And I'll enjoy it for awhile
'Cause I'll spill every tear my dear
If you will greet me with a smile
Oh, magnetic mistress
Won't you miss me with your flame
'Cause though I am a lowly moth
I'm losing patience for the game
That you've been steady playing here
Shining light upon my shame
'Cause when your friends are not around
We both know you'll scream my name
But you've been on the shorter end
Of Charlie's little stick
Too many men have walked on you
And left you feeling sick
So now you'll take it out on me
And I'll enjoy it for awhile
'Cause I'll spill every tear my dear
If you will greet me with a smile
Oh, come magnetic mistress
Won't you tell me why you cry
Is it because those other fools
Chose to leave the well this dry
See, you've been so busy burning me
You've overlooked some things
Like when your love is pouring down
You'll feel the joy it brings
But you'll have to loosen up my chains
And then undo a little rope
If I'm to get you on your back
And breathe the life into your hope
